i know detroit is down dats and hank, but still. you guys have some definite pep tonight

Tatar makes for a great stress ball.

I'm trying to stay even keeled not get too down or too high... It's tough but I'm leaning on laughter and just trying to enjoy... With serious stress on try there

Look at Raffl driving and getting that shot on net leading to the penalty and a goal by Hartnell.

5 goals...very nice.

very nice? it's downright shocking.

I guess you missed the first 40 minutes?

i dunno what to say
- 2Real

just don't tell the flyers this is the 3rd period - no need for them to let up now.

i unfortunately remember another offensive outburst of his...

is it me, or does it seem like we're suddenly playing Lavy's system?

- FlyerGuy

No, you're just not used to seeing this team skate hard and actually execute.

how come this team scores a lot or not at all

I guess you missed the first 40 minutes?

- FlyerGuy

ill admit i missed the first period. but still even a lot of the second. its hard to dominate puck control constantly being down a man (or two)

or the 2nd period

Any chance the Flyers can retain Downie? He's really helped open up Coots offensive game with Read.

True. Given the amount of pk time in the 2nd, I think they did a fantastic job...so far.

I think he's definitely re-signed ... 3 years, $9m.

i hope so. i think they made a mistake letting jags go... lets not make the same mistake again. downie has really motivats that line.

That is a reasonable and agreeable contract.

The next RonFrancis is looking great out there tonight, eh?

Believe it or not, but a persons political views come out in their opinions of things.

Like the taking hitting out of the game is a liberal/progressive line of thinking.

Us conservatives are pretty fired up when we hear it flare up. Its a passion thing I think.
- Flyersgod

Now that's a funny post!

this has been a fun 3rd ... but don't underestimate the ability of the Flyers to take a stupid penalty and allow a PP goal with plenty of time still left on the clock.

Zach Parise is really giving me a hankering for chocolate milk.

Wherr was this the first 40 mins? Geez.. moch was right!

The 'ole switch

Didn't a lot of people on here consider couturier a bust last season? I seem to remember reading that a lot, that a bad second season on a terrible team makes you a bust.

Timonen and Mezsaros coming off the books a lone should put them pretty close. Gotta account for extensions for Roo and Read off the top of my head, but it's definitely do-able.
